My story

This May, we are taking on 70k in May and hoping to support families facing hunger.

In Nairobi, parents like Fridah are growing food so their children don’t go without.

Please support our challenge this Christian Aid Week.

St Cuthbert’s Way

We made it! Seven days of glorious paths, sunshine, clouds, a chill North wind but little rain. Beautiful colours of yellow gorse, violets, bluebells and so many other wild flowers, every shade of spring green in fields, trees, hillsides and moorlands. What a pilgrimage for such a valuable cause ….. thank you all.

How your money helps

You can support families facing the daily stress of food insecurity in Nairobi.

In the crowded and noisy settlements of Nairobi, parents like Fridah wake up knowing they must earn money – otherwise their children won’t eat that evening. But with tools, seeds and training from our partner, Beacon of Hope, families can grow nutritious vegetables in small city spaces and grow hope for the future.

Every pound you raise could help:

  • provide seeds and tools so people can grow food in small spaces.
  • fund training so people can plan ahead and protect their livelihoods.
  • support community-led projects that strengthen food security and incomes.
